Good job CCP! Less bots means a revitalized industry!

Keep pushing, CCP. Maybe when people are paying 3 mill for a combat probe they will learn to leave my ATK Mackinaw alone.


They will not, because resources are the excuse for the miner close to you to pay a merc to come gank your ship until you accept to join his corp Blink



So you are a juicy victim anyway and there's absolutely nothing you can do or that will change after bot's ban and drones alloys taken. You will still be the older an richer players hoar.

Oh, the righteous tears of those who break the rules and get butthurt about being punished.

"rider23: I was botting 20hrs/day, on 4 accounts, all banned (+1 extra!) for 2 weeks. 2 remain. Now, without botting I have no other way to make isk and get plexes for all accounts even for my main. So there is no way to play for FREE. FREE? Hmm, seems that CCP have problems with their funding to support company, servers, etc.

So, I will let them eat my s**t, and on my 2 remaining unblocked accounts I have started the process to return all characters to the virtual biomass, where they virtually came from. Subscriptions already canceled."

Lawl.

I see your Lawl and raise you a facepalm.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Keep it up



For those complaining about how this is causing inflation: It's not. It's removing an artificial source of deflation and the prices are returning to the levels they are supposed to be at. All is well, especially if you're an ethical miner or producer, since you no longer have to compete with cheating smacktards.

Anyone got a link to that guy's blog where he reposted the best gems from the botter forums?

I can't believe I'm saying it but Bot tears are more juicy than carebear tears.

I think its hilarious how many of the comments are angry with CCP for enforcing the rules.

PS: I got a massive erection from reading that stuff.

I am the older and richer player. Not rich enough to topple empires, yet. Hoar? never. Not now, not later, not ever.

This is like the black plague.

Miners will become rare and valuable, and it'll become gankergeddon, where hulks fitted with smartbombs suicide gank catalysts and Tornados.

And you never know, perhaps a few of the freetards out there might just start learning about opportunity costs and there won't be quite as much stuff on the market below mineral costs. I'm hoping but I won't be holding my breath, there is still an incredible amount of stupid out there.

I totally agree. While I'm not loving the higher prices I have to pay for everything, I know it is for the best and the old cheap prices were artifical. In fact, I'm actually considering mining and producing some of my own equipment. Who knows, I might even start making extra to sell for profit.

Ending bots ends superblobs obviously. Battleships were not meant to be cheap.

I'd like to see a chart of mineral costs over time with these bot bans highlighted.

Posting to show my approval of bot bans. Eve is a game of griefing, cheating, and scamming...but all done by players. Bots have no place.

NOT expecting that to happen - there are already too many in the pipeline.

What I am expecting to see is BS and heavier ships becoming so valuable that they become closely guarded - Warping away any time they come up against heavy opposition. Not unlike First- and Second-Raters in the naval engagements of the Napoleonic Wars. Any time one side was getting beatten too badly, they'd break contact and stand off.

In those days, the real action was with the Third-Raters and below; The 64 gun ships of the line (Think battlecruisers and heavy cruisers'), the Heavy Frigates (Old Ironsides - Light cruisers, effectively), and the lesser-rated ships.

All the really gung-ho officers wanted to sail a well-found frigate; First- and Second-Raters were boring. Not to mention, also not particularly good at getting the prize money.

May we see that day return to EVE? I hope so!

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Alliances are rich enough that this doesn't effect them in the slightest. If anything, they'll prolly profit from it because they have the BPOs.

Having a BPO doesn't mean you aren't affected by the price of minerals rising. Only having miners does that.

Having a BPO (aside from T2) doesn't mean you aren't affected by the price of minerals rising. Only having miners does that.


Alliances have miners and huge stockpiles of minerals. And they're probably the ones causing all the speculation right now.

That's really the ticket, right there. Not BPOs.
